Intensity interferometry forms an image of a stellar source by correlating photon signals which are measured independently at different positions and different times. By use of kilometric arrays of air Cherenkov telescopes like the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) one may increase the spatial resolution by an order of magnitude. We review the theory of intensity interferometry and the new possibilities offered by such an array as well as the problems that arise. Moreover, we present the first correlations using IceAct telescopes which are originally part of the IceCube experiment at the south pole.
